Global Innovation Outlook - Security and Society
Since 2004, IBM has been periodically hosting a very interesting brainstorming exercise, called Global Innovation Outlook (GIO) on various themes. I was invited by them to participate in a 'Deep Dive' session of GIO 3.0, with the theme of 'Security and Society'. This was held in Taipei on 20-21 May 2008. Similar sessions were held at Moscow, Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago and Vancouver. The GIO blog gives more details of the individual sessions.
The idea of the brainstorming exercise was simple and well-executed. A lot of bright and accomplished thinkers on the subject of security were put together and asked to express their thoughts on the emerging aspects of security. The IBM co-ordinating team laid down the protocol of engagement and guided the discussions in the productive direction. Personally, I enjoyed meeting people from different nationalities and getting to know their assessment of the problem.
IBM has recently put out the report of the Deep Dive on Security on Society. Though a largish file (6 MB), it is worth a good look for some unusual perspectives from a diverse group of people, capable of stimulating some novel thoughts.
